	作词 : Partridge
	It's in the order of their hedgerows
	it's in the way their curtains open and close
	it's in the look they give you down their nose
	all part of decency's jigsaw I suppose

	Heard the neighbour slam his car door
	don't he realise this is respectable street
	What d'you think he bought that car for
	'cos he realise this is respectable street

	Now they talk about abortion
	in cosmopolitan proportions to their daughters
	as they speak of contraception
	And immaculate receptions on their portable
	Sony entertainment centres.

	Now she speaks about diseases
	and which sex position pleases best her old man
	Avon lady fills the creases
	when she manages to squeeze in past the caravans
	that never move from their front gardens.

	It's in the order of their hedgerows
	it's in the way their curtains open and close
	it's in the look they give you down their nose
	all part of decency's jigsaw I suppose
	Sunday church and they look fetching
	Saturday night saw him retching over our fence
	bang the wall for me to turn down
	I can see them with their stern frown
	as they dispense the kind of look that says
	they're perfect.
